Island Pool Party Birthday!

Quick post today.  It's Friday... and that usually means there's lots of work to be done around here, and it's School Store Day for us as well!  Let's get those bags packed, supplies put away in the classrooms, meet the teachers, and get all PSYCHED up for school on Tuesday!  Yay!

This is another direct CASE from Dawn Olchefske.  Love it!  Simple, but lovely card.  You can't see it too well on here, but I used the Perfect Polka Dots EF for my Island Indigo panel.  Isn't the colour combo great on here?  Island Indigo, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Whisper White... YUM!

I've got one more card for you later on today.  A masculine one this time.  I love stocking up on masculine card ideas... those ones are hard to come by it seems, and there are not nearly as many masculine stamps as girly, fun, cutesy, pretty ones, are there?

Seeyou later!

Joy Fold Card-Birthday Wishes

Good morning!  Happy Thursday!  Today I've got a bright, happy colourful birthday card for you.  I love this one.  Not only is it eye catching because of the cheerful colour combo, but it's not your regular "scored in the middle" kind of card.  This is the joy fold.  Click here for a straight forward tutorial on how to achieve this look!  This card is still the regular A4 card size, so still fits in a regular envelope and is totally mailable.  Make one yourself!

Now, this is one of the cards that I found in my folder, not yet posted, so many of these items are also retired, or are Sale-a-bration items.  I cannot remember what the name of the DSP is, the stamped and punched owl inside of the card is also reitred, and the sentiment on the front is from sale-a-bration a few years ago.

The only supplies not retired are the owl, scallop circle and label punches, but use your imagination with DSP and stamp choices, and you could easily make this card yours.  it's so fun!

Come back later today for another card I made using this same little owl.  Isn't he adorable?
